Heavy ^ | June 14, 2017 | Tom Cleary

James T. Hodgkinson has been identified as the shooter who opened fire on Republican members of Congress Wednesday morning at a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia, the Washington Post reports.

Hodgkinson, 66, is from Belleville, Illinois, the newspaper reports. A motive for the shooting is not yet known.

The gunman was shot by two Capitol Hill Police officers who were at the scene as a security detail for Rep. Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, who was among those shot. The two police officers were also wounded, along with a staffer for Rep. Roger Williams of Texas. Scalise and the officers are expected to survive.

Witnesses described the gunman as being a white male. Rep. Mo Brooks told CNN the shooter was a “middle-aged” man “a little bit yon the chubby side.”

Alexandria Police Chief Michael Brown said his officers and Capitol Police officers exchanged fire with the gunman.

Sources told the CNN it was a “deliberate attack.”

The GOP baseball team was practicing at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria when the shooting occurred. The Republican team was preparing to play its annual game against Democratic congressmen at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.

This story is developing and little is known about the gunman so far. This post will be updated as more information is made available: 1. Hodgkinson Is a Supporter of Bernie Sanders & Democratic Socialism, According to His Facebook Page

These are people who think Republicans are “more dangerous” than ISIS.

Like this country needs more terrorists.

May we finally be able to call this a “hate crime”, as lieberals are so fond of doing when one of theirs is on the receiving end?

Or is this just another of the “moral positions” that may only be applied to one side?

It ain’t paranoia when they really are singling you out.

The American left is more dangerous than ISIS.

They think that they are entitled to lord over everyone.

They are fascists.

Free people are not going to be able to coexist with these ones.

We took away all their little toys, and they are very damned angry about it.

Fillus said a police agent pulled out a gun and tried to shoot back. She was screaming, “Drop your weapon!’ And he shot her and she fell on the ground.

...

She should have blown his head off instead of giving him a command.

He has a perfect alibi, the chemtrails (contrails) made him do it. The drugs that are being spread by the jets drove him insane.
